Charming Stay with Great Amenities

delicious shortbreadconvenient hair dryerfunctional iron
The room had locally produced amenities (I found the shortbread delicious). The room featured a mini bar, hair dryer with straighteners, and an iron with ironing board. There was a Nespresso machine along with a kettle in my room.
The room was very warm with only a window that opened a fraction.

The room came with complementary port. There were also tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. The room had shuttered windows. The bed was very large and comfortable (a Hypnos bed, I think).
